Protoparmeliopsis garovaglii is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Lecanoraceae. The species was originally described as Placodium garovaglii by German lichenologist Gustav Wilhelm Körber in 1859. It was later classified in Lecanora in 1900, and known as a member of that genus for more than a century. Molecular phylogenetics showed that Lecanora was highly polyphyletic, and as a result, the genus was divided into several smaller, more phylogenetically natural genera. Subsequently, in 2015, Lecanora garovaglii was transferred to genus Protoparmeliopsis.

Myriolecis carlottiana is a species of lichen found in North America. M. carlottiana has been found in the Great Lakes region along the Niagara Escarpment in Ontario up to Manitoulin Island, and in New York State. Myriolecis carlottiana was first described in 2012 by Lewis and Śliwa. Myriolecis carlottiana is usually found on shaded, sheltered, north-easterly calcareous cliffs. They are commonly found in forests dominated by northern white-cedar. They tend to be found near water, but in areas sheltered by the rain, sun and wind.

Rhizoplaca novomexicana is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Lecanoraceae. Found in North America, the lichen was first formally described as a new species in 1932 by Adolf Hugo Magnusson, as a member of the genus Lecanora. Sergey Kondratyuk proposed a transfer to the genus Protoparmeliopsis in 2012. Steven Leavitt, Xin Zhao, and H. Thorsten Lumbsch transferred it to the genus Rhizoplaca in 2015, when, following molecular phylogenetics analysis, they emended that genus to include three placodioid species previously placed in Lecanora.
